BAFFLED

Three starters, three graded stakes winners. That’s the astonishing record of Baffled, a remarkable young producer who is offered carrying a Tapit foal that is a full-brother or sister to a multiple grade one winning millionaire.

Baffled was also a talented runner in her own right, taking third in the Albany Stakes (gr. III) at Royal Ascot as a two-year-old.

Baffled’s sire, Distorted Humor, is a Leading Sire who is fast becoming a major broodmare sire, his daughters having produced nearly 50 stakes winners, eight of them grade one, including the spectacular Travers Stakes (gr. I) victor Arrogate.

Baffled is a sister to the grade two winning Surfer, and three-quarters sister to Awesome Humor, who captured a quartet of graded stakes, including the Spinaway Stakes (gr. I). Baffled is also half-sister to Emcee, winner of Forego Stakes (gr. I) in race-record time, and to stakes winner Spring Party.

Baffled’s first starter is Constitution, who marked himself as one of the best of his crop when taking the Florida Derby (gr. I) on only his third outing. Constitution returned at four to take the Donn Handicap (gr. I) while running a Beyer Speed Figure of 111, and is now a highly thought of young sire, standing at WinStar Farm.

The second starter for Baffled is the Congrats filly, Jacaranda, who went two-for-two as a juvenile, and on her second start, led throughout to take the Tempted Stakes (gr. III) by 3½ lengths over grade two winner Paulassilverlining. Jacaranda is now at stud, and has begun her career with a mating to Candy Ride for a foal of 2017.

The third of the exceptional trio of starters for Baffled is Boynton, a More Than Ready son who has stamped himself as one of the best two-year-olds in Europe this year. In three starts, Boynton has won twice, including defeating subsequent group two winner War Decree in the Superlative Stakes (gr. II) and taken third in the Vintage Stakes (gr. II), when conceding weight all round.

Baffled’s offspring have also starred in the sale ring. Constitution, conceived when Tapit’s stud fee was $80,000, realized $400,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling; Jacaranda, at $250,000 was the second most expensive Congrats yearling filly of her crop;

and Boynton, at $750,000, was the most expensive More Than Ready yearling sold at auction in 2015.

Baffled also has a 2015 filly by Graydar, which is closely related to grade one winner Emcee. She is offered in foal to Tapit, a record-breaking twice Leading Sire, who appears well on his way to a third consecutive sire crown in 2016, and thus carrying a foal that will be a brother or sister to Constitution, one of Tapit’s most accomplished runners.
